PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to make clear to students, parents and staff the school district's policy regarding extracurricular transportation. I. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY The determination as to whether to provide transportation for students, spectators or participants to and from extracurricular activities shall be made solely by the school district administration. This determination shall include, but is not limited to, the decision to provide transportation, the persons to be transported, the type or method to be utilized, all transportation scheduling and coordination, and any other transportation arrangements or decisions. Employees who are involved in extracurricular activities shall be advised by the administration as to the transportation arrangements made, if any. I. ARRANGEMENT OF EXTRACURRICULAR TRANSPORTATION. School district employees shall undertake independent arrangement, scheduling or coordination of transportation for extracurricular activities only when specifically directed or approved by the school district administration.

EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION OF STUDENTS. In the event of an emergency or other unforeseeable circumstances, employees are authorized to make appropriate transportation arrangements for students as necessary. Employees will transport students in nonemergency circumstances only when such extracurricular transportation is approved by the administration. If any transportation arrangements are made by employees pursuant to this section, the relevant facts and circumstances shall be reported to the administration. All vehicles used to transport students shall be properly registered and insured. V. FEES In its discretion, the school district may charge fees for transportation of students to and from extracurricular activities conducted at locations other than school, where attendance is optional.
